The Masters is back in its traditional spot in the PGA Tour rotation but we aren’t expected to see many changes from when the gang pegged it up at Augusta National Golf Club just a few months ago. That’s good news for World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, who carded a tournament record to win the green jacket by five shots back in November. It’s the smallest major championship in terms of the number of golfers, however it doesn’t lack for excitement with the best players in the world going after one of the most iconic pieces of clothing in sports. DJ has struggled recently but he won his second major title after a bout with COVID and is the early favorite on the odds board, so who knows. BookMaker.eu offers an abundance of matchup odds featuring the top players in the sport in the biggest event on Tour when you’re ready to place a wager.

Need to Know
Though club officials say there will be no changes to the course from the previous edition there are a few differences. Longer days mean the usual start formation with all players teeing it up on hole No. 1. The greens will also be much firmer than what we saw in November. And of course the azaleas will be blooming in the spring. Stretched out to nearly 7,500 yards, Augusta National is no picnic. The par 5s are scoreable and need to be taken advantage of. Being long off the tee and having a strong approach game will aid the scoring, but it’s critical to be solid on the short grass with tricky undulating greens swallowing poor approach shots. The low 50 plus ties advance to the weekend, though being within 10 shots of the lead no longer applies. That should help in matchups since the field is just over 80 players deep.
The Masters Matchup Picks
Rory McIlroy +112 vs. Dustin Johnson
Going against the best player in the world is always a risk, but remember McIlroy was in that position not too long ago. There has been a decline in Rory’s game after admittedly battling with Bryson DeChambeau over the length of his tee shots. It appears as though his head is in a better spot and chasing the career grand slam should keep him focused. The success McIlroy has enjoyed at Augusta can’t be overlooked either. He’s finished among the top-10 six times in his last seven starts, including a fifth-place showing in November. I’ll happily back Rory at plus odds.
Jordan Spieth +126 vs. Justin Thomas
The comeback was completed with last week’s win in Texas, now Spieth heads to a course that has yielded positive results in the past. The title in San Antonio punctuated a run of form that placed Spieth among the top-15 in five of his last six stroke play events with four of those in the top-5. It had been four years since his last win so you know the confidence level is sky high. Spieth was fitted for the green jacket in 2015, one of four podium finishes at Augusta.
Tony Finau +104 vs. Patrick Cantlay
We rarely see Finau miss the weekend so doing it in his last two stroke play events could be a concern. I’m looking at it as more of a plus since he’s had time to evaluate his position on Tour. And it’s not like he was falling off a cliff before that. He was runner-up in back-to-back starts and collected a top-15 at the WGC-Workday Championship so we know he can still swing it. He’s not getting the pub due to recent results, but he has two top-10s in three starts at Augusta.
Cameron Smith +113 vs. Daniel Berger
Smith has been a monster at Augusta in his last two starts. And recent form heading in hasn’t been too shabby. I was alarmed to see his price in this matchup and just couldn’t pass on backing him. Smith became the only player to score four rounds in the 60s to finish T2 back in November. He also claimed a T5 in 2018 so the course isn’t overwhelming. He’s been T17 or better in his last three stroke play events with a solo fourth at the Genesis his best.
Sungjae Im +100 vs. Matthew Fitzpatrick
I backed Im for the outright win so I might as well throw down on him in this matchup. He’s played a lot of golf this season and has been solid with his results. He earned his third top-10 of the campaign at the Honda Classic a few weeks back and navigated Augusta like a veteran in his debut to finish as co-runner up at 15-under back in November.
